[@superliquid1]

Yes, love the new format.

[@Veteran-Nurse]

Yes, keep this format. Great briefing.

[@charlotteosborn2700]

I love the getttsburg its fascinating I felt sorry for the soldiers they had hard times.

[@kevindecoteau3186]

I do love this battlefield and hope to visit it when I retire.

[@krasius47]

This is great information and history telling, for both sides.

[@garys.4789]

Thanks for the tour Garry, hope there are many more to follow 😊👍

[@shellysmith1037]

The 83rd Pennsylvania, 44th New York, 16th Michigan and 140th New York really desrve a lot of praise for their Day 2 actions. Actual and un- embellished regiments...

[@michaelnotti2258]

Superb.

[@10_a_see]

Love the format; thanks!

[@mattcarpenter8689]

I just recently visited Gettysburg for the first time while the restoration project had Little Round Top closed. Thank you so much for the detailed tour. I can’t wait to go back and do it in person after everything is done. Thanks Again for sharing and conserving History 🇺🇸

[@jackschonely592]

Well done Garry and Kris. I loved the walking 2 camera tour. More of that for sure. Thank you.

[@airfixguy2]

thanks for posting, can barely wait to visit, again.

[@jeremymoorer1611]

I enjoyed this format! Great job guys! Sweet Home Alabama!

[@SmedleyDouwright]

The boys are back!

[@rickyriley9441]

I loved it! Thank you! You were on parts of Little Round Top I’ve never been to in over 35 trips. I can’t wait until the rehabilitation project is finished and I can access the whole area! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@Worthrhetime]

Very cool. Thanks

[@jeffhester1443]

Great format. You show us the battle on the field. Most visitors just walking around probably have no idea what they are looking at. Thank you.

[@scottscottsdale7868]

I like this dual format.

[@model-man7802]

Exactly Garry,many of us can't get there anymore. I reenacted since 1976 and now I have a cane.

[@littlejoefontana4210]

Loved it. Great Video and documentation of what it looks like before restoration. Many Thanks

[@robertspecht1911]

Very nicely done Gary. it gave me a better insight as to the hight of the teraine and what the opposition had in front of them to encounter. Thanks and well done.

[@alanjones3874]

Really did enjoy the walk around little round top .

[@charlesroller5844]

It really astounds me that the Park Service would have Little Round Top, a huge key to Federal victory, closed for the 160th anniversary celebration. Thanks for another great video.

[@mhollman8650]

AMAZING Thank you !

[@tommytodd9073]

Great video guys!!!!!

[@lawrencemyers3623]

Just when you think "Yeah, I know this stuff", reality smacks you in the face and says "Oh, you think so, do ya?" I didn't know about the Michigan Sharpshooters being on LRT or in digging deeper, that Casper Trepp was falsely accused of cowardice by Hiram Berdan. Sadly, Trepp would be felled by a sniper's bullet at Mine Run almost 5 months later. So, thanks for arousing my curiosity and increasing my knowledge.

[@karinamc5753]

Great insight there and always a bit sad when you run into dissent in the ranks that could have caused a bit too much bravery than was called for in a given moment. Sharpshooters were by far the most unappreciated service, right up there with cavalry...never enough.

[@lorirubush265]

I really like this format. Good job!

[@ryanwiersema7251]

Thanks gang! I appreciate the walking tour concept. I am hoping to make it to the battlefield soon. The last time I was there was almost 40 years ago.

[@davidgibson4259]

I love listening to mr. Adelman... he sounds like one of those eighties ads that sell stereo equipment..."The Peach Orchard,The Wheat Field ,Dan Sickles!,Little Round top ,BIG Round top!!! Come now these prices are FREE!

[@peterwhitehead2850]

Thanks guys excellent great to get these view ,the saddle and the great looks of laws advance and union defence ,hopefully planing trip from Australia to gettysburg and work on little round top will be complete .

[@pastorcales8999]

Awesome. Please do more of these type of videos for those of us that would not visit the Battlefield.

[@Feathermason]

w0w!..short sleeves in March !

[@billbrenneman334]

loved it

[@blukeblue1235]

One thing I really appreciate is you show us areas of the field I have NEVER seen before. No one that I know of has shown the area below the left flank of the 20th Maine from the Confederate perspective. Thank you!

[@GlennZimmer]

Love this format! I have been there a few times but to get the benefit of your commentaries is priceless.

[@williamdeason2205]

Great tour. Thanks

[@billbrenneman334]

Makes me miss Gettysburg even more . School field trip in the 60's got me hooked Thanks to all of you!!!

[@0tties]

Thanks Garry and Chris. This video will help us compare before and after changes. I like the format.

[@fredellstrom3526]

Gary and Chris, well done.I like the new format that you used. I plan on coming to Gettysburg this summer for the first time. I am 72 yrs old and most of my life I have been wanting to see the battlefield. Your video has made me very excited to see Gettysburg. Thanks again!

[@samdown1914]

For a UK civil war enthusiast, who will probably never get to visit these places, these videos are amazing, thanks for your efforts. Very enjoyable

[@michaelvaughn8864]

Never say never, Mr. Down

[@bennoe5715]

Please come and visit! I love these videos, but I have to say, seeing Gettysburg in person is astounding. Gives you a proper sense of the scale of the place. I have been once when I was a kid, and am planning to go back once the Little Round Top area reopens.

[@CCNYMacGuy]

@@bennoe5715 I just went back for the first time since I was 12 a few weeks ago, and photos really don't do it justice. It's fair to say that you don't really get a sense of how harrowing the battle must have been until you're actually walking the landscape. So chin up, Mr. Down!

[@bennoe5715]

@@CCNYMacGuy I thought you were calling me Mr. Down (like I was being a downer) and was extremely confused for a bit!

[@badkneesone]

Me too they provide a great service

[@BG-uu3po]

Dual camera view is sick. One thing you could add is an google map or animated map overhead view with a directional indicator to how the camera is being pointed

[@nomar5spaulding]

Oh man it hurts my soul to hear that General Warren thought he was dying as a failed soldier. He did not fail.

It’s brilliant love you guys

[@paulhendershot111]

Great tour guys! I have been to Gettysburg many times and have not seen some of the spots you took us to in this video. Can't wait for Little Round Top to reopen to see the final result and do some in depth exploring.

Excellent !!

[@teresabrown3305]

This is the best tour I have seen. I understand Little Round Top a lot better now.

[@blukeblue1235]

I liked formats like this because it's almost like I'm there myself. Can't wait to visit Gettysburg sometime. I am also glad to hear they are going to repair some of the damage.

[@nathanfisher1826]

Love this! Great job

[@thegoalielife8228]

I drove almost 8 hours to go to Gettysburg, in June for my 21st birthday, such a beautiful place

[@jumpmaster82nd.]

Best time to go and study. Foliage gone and tourist are nearly non existent. You can see more miles! Take your Lainos, OR's and a good book and have at it! Thanks ABT! Hope they make a trail on the actual "military crest" of the hill...

Absolutely perfect job gentlemen. One of many reasons why I am a proud member.

[@larryfranks3819]

Nicely done

[@terryeustice5399]

Kris and Gary a great video. Those guns were the difference in the fight for this ground. Appreciate your time and your expertise.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Good idea getting in there and documenting this before the restoration takes place. Enjoyed this!

[@forkintherode8236]

I like this format and I think it makes a nice mix with the regular presentation.

[@kahlesjf]

Excellent job! Very informative. So well-communicated.

[@mikealvord55]

I would have been mad if I got to Gettysburg and round top was closed. I got to Oahu once and the Arizona monument was closed due to wind. It was a huge disappointment. round top was open when I got to Gettysburg, but I would have been crushed to miss out again! I don’t think these monuments should be closed people come from all of the country in the world. It may be their only time there I realize it might be hard to renovate while people visit, but I think it should be done.

[@chrishaines8842]

I loved the video! Great perspective views that I never looked upon before. Please do one for Culps Hill!

[@DP90263]

One of your best videos to date, thank you for giving us this detailed descriptions of Little Round Top!

[@johnp9402]

I actually really like looking at the battlefields in the winter because I can see much more ground without the vegetation.

[@michaelvaughn8864]

Yeah, that's when I usually go myself for that reason, Mr. P

[@michaelvaughn8864]

It's incredibly lovely in the mid-autumn with the colorful trees

[@timx9661]

Love the format. Not the split cameras. Disorienting.

[@davesw357]

Awesome presentation guys, definitely will get to those spots after the rehab.

[@661300VW]

I like this new format minus the split screen. You give one a good understanding on how to understand the park and how it developed over time.

[@TundeEszlari]

Sensational content.

[@Shawnroberts1980]

This was SO AWESOME!! Thank you American Battlefield Trust! 4K makes it so much better and clear. Chris and Garry are so great.

[@Opakill1]

Thx from Germany

[@tbdudgeon]

Excellent videos guys. The only thing I would change is when you point at a specific area/location, instead of just pointing, add a pointer in the video to show us that specific area/location.

[@ronbaker4140]

I've had the good fortune to visit Little Round Top many time, but this video showed me more in one hour than personal trips there! I've always had one concern about the roads, like Warren Ave at the saddle of the two hills. In the making of these roads, how much did this area lose, especially the saddle area? Was this area higher, lower for the Rebs to cross, as the parking lot below Chamberland's 20th Maine has taken a huge portion of the hill. Will they replace that area back to what it was? I wonder?

[@ktd9]

❤❤❤❤

[@rebeccatelgenhoff3540]

Gary, I went to Gettysburg last year and had a guided tour of the battlefield. I learned a lot but this particular video is so much more informative. Now I would like to go back and see the battlefield again and walk down where the battle really took place. Very well Done!!

[@LtDan907]

Really like the format, hope you do more like it.

[@onisgagan2481]

I just had an opportunity to visit the battlefield again. I wanted to go to Little Round Top but access was closed. I ended up at Culp’s Hill which was a bit off the beaten track. I was able to spend 90 minutes on top with no one around. I felt very privileged to end up there and developed a greater appreciation for the place…

[@garys.4789]

Love everything you guys post 👍

[@Tomatohater64]

Thanks again gentlemen for another perfect presentation. I've only been to Gettysburg once, in 1973, when I was 10. Now retired, my dream is to visit Gettysburg one more time, perhaps for 5 - 7 days, and take as many professionally guided tours of the battlegrounds as is possible. You genuinely make this Civil War buff proud. Keep em comin !! 👍👍 (Never knew that Chamberlain didn't allow Oates to erect a monument to his fallen brother in Union held land.)

[@JamesBray-qm8gr-q3w]

You should really see it again, it has changed so much for the better. The dumb tower was torn down. New visitor center built there behind Cemetary ridge and they are returning the old visitor center to how it looked at time of battle without any buildings there. ALso they have returned the vegetation to how it appeared at the time of the battle !

[@Tomatohater64]

@@JamesBray-qm8gr-q3w I am 100% in support of returning the battlefield to as close to what it looked like in 1863 as possible. This has to be THE most hallowed military ground in the 48 contiguous states. Many would argue for Pearl Harbor overall, but I say Gettysburg.

[@Abandonsoyciety]

That's because even the most recent union cadet knew how racist and pro slavery even the most recent Confederate cadets. Inb4 bUt tHe UnInOn wAs RaCISt ToO, yeah and so was everybody else in the world problem is the CSA are the only country trying to maintain slavery, so much that America uniquely suffered from lost causers which directly cause the Jim crow south. No other country made segregation legal right after a civil war we're one side wanted to leave because they couldn't own other people. Hard to memorialize people when the big question of why were they put on the battlefield that day, is answered with a truth so ugly you can't really feel sorry for them.

[@Veteran-Nurse]

You can book these guys for your trip.

[@Tomatohater64]

@@Veteran-NurseIf Garry Adelman is available, his private 5-day tour would be worth 10K in my estimation.

[@kennethwise7108]

Warren was a tough fella

[@michaelmcadams6904]

Nice video. I enjoy these types of jaunts. It may be the last look from some of these vantage points because from what I’ve seen this past year the park will no longer allow you to venture off path and explore. Walking cement or macadam will be mandatory from what I’ve heard.

[@bud9719]

Yes, everything I feared…what a horrible idea to restrict access to history..these places just won’t have the same feel after this “rehab”(ie: restrictions)..and they want us to save these battlefields by becoming members but will now restrict access to everything..part of the lure of these historic places is being able to get up close and have a personal experience by sitting on the rocks these soldiers sat on, touching these spots they stood etc…sucks

[@TermiteUSA]

I love these little tours, but who almost heard Gary say "walking vodka"?

[@michaeldenesyk3195]

US Civil War smooth bore guns could fire shells, Case Shot ( Shrapnel ) was available as well as Canister and solid shot.

[@dalep6590]

Accolades for the format of dual screened visuals, along with relevant graphics. Live in California. Never been to Pa. Intend to make the trip and visit after the renovations are completed. The catalogue of vids that shows the battlefield, keeps me coming back. Walking (with a video camera) the battlefield is indispensable for those of us, who are unable to readily access the Park. May I make a request for future consideration? Please consider doing something similar at Houck’s Ridge, the Rose Woods, and the Stoney Hill. These specific areas are frequently mentioned, but generally bypassed for video views. Thanks again for what you all do!

[@cyndiebill6631]

Please keep doing these. And thank you. Little Round Top. Is one of my favorite because of the 20th Maine. You guys did an amazing job showing us what it had to be like for booth sides. 👍😁

[@swlc5555]

I really enjoyed this video tour! I last visited the park in 1999 and hope to visit it again when Little Round Top has reopened. I imagine you're familiar with Val Giles descriptive account at Little Round Top with the 4th Texas Infantry. He mentions sharing a boulder with John Griffith. Since my last visit I found out that my grandfather's first wife was the granddaughter of Griffith. From your video it sounds like the 16th Michigan was the primary regiment they may have contended with. Looking forward to walking that land.

[@americanschweitzer45]

Absolutely love this two camera walk along platform! I got just one question though, why didn’t the NY fellas just clime inside that castle that’s there? They could have ruled the day from up there haha JK!

[@ChuckG92]

Ellis Spear, a friend of Chamberlain, also questioned Chamberlain's accounts. That gives great weight to the argument for embellishment.

[@christinehelton4961]

I am watching this January 7, 2023. Love this! This makes the whole story of Little Roundtop more believable. S0 glad to see Big Roundtop for the 1st time the way it really looked at the time. Thanks so much. Looking forward to see the restoration when it's finished.

[@patrickmaddy113]

I really enjoyed the video format that you guys did. Looking forward to more. You took me to places I have always wondered about when I have visited Little Round Top. Your explanations were great.
